PHENOL RECOVERY WITH SLM USING “CYANEX 923”

The study of the phenol separation-concentration process with the hollow fiber supported liquid membrane technology has been performed. Mixtures of kerosene and CYANEX 923 were used as liquid membrane. The extractant CYANEX 923 is characterized by a high phenol selectivity and an extremely low solubility in the aqueous phase. The introduction of CYANEX 923 in the membrane composition decreases the extractant losses from the pores of the support.

The phenol separation and simultaneous concentration process has been checked. The influences of the initial concentration of phenol in the feed solution and sodium hydroxide in the stripping phase and the membrane composition on the separation rate have been investigated in a single-pass mode. The analysis of the membrane composition influence has been performed according to the steady-state mass transfer conservation equation and the associated boundary conditions, leading to the mass transfer parameters of the process     

The influence of fluid elasticity on wall effects for creeping sphere motion in cylindrical tubes

Experimental results are presented of wall effect for the slow motion of spheres in elastic, constant-viscosity liquids. The results are correlated in terms of diameter ratio for d/D < 0.3, and Weissenberg number We < 5. Weissenberg number is defined as We = 2θV_m/d, with θ the Maxwellian relaxation time (θ = N₁/2τγ). The wall effect is found to be adequately described by Newtonian expressions for small Weissenberg number, We < 0.01. For larger values of the Weissenberg number, We > 0.2, virtually no wall effect is discernible; the small effect observed is correlated by the wall factor expression The wall effect observed is ascribed to the influence of fluid elasticity alone, since all the fluids used were elastic to a greater or lesser extent, but showed no shear thinning.      

A geometric solution to the largest-free-sphere problem in zeolite frameworks

We have applied Delaunay triangulation to models of the known zeolite frameworks. We show that this well-established technique from computational geometry provides for each framework; (i) the location and shape of the open pores and channels, (ii) the diameter of the largest possible included sphere, and indirectly (iii) the diameter of the largest-free-sphere that can diffuse through the framework by at least one lattice translation. Since Delaunay triangulation naturally locates the empty spaces within a set of points, it provides a powerful computer-automated tool for determining the physical characteristics of pores and channels of zeolite frameworks. Such tools will further enhance the usefulness of large databases of hypothetical framework materials.

Here, we tabulate results for the 165 zeolite frameworks that are presently listed in the Atlas of Zeolite Frameworks. Of the known zeolites, refined as pure silicates, the largest included sphere occurs in the TSC framework, with a diameter of 16.39 Å. The largest-free-sphere has a diameter of 11.33 Å, for diffusion along the [0 0 1] direction in the VFI framework.

Emissivity Measurements on Metallic Surfaces with Various Degrees of Roughness: A Comparison of Laser Polarimetry and Integrating Sphere Reflectometry

Both integrating sphere reflectometry (ISR) as well as laser polarimetry have their advantages and limitations in their ability to determine the normal spectral emissivity of metallic samples. Laser polarimetry has been used for years to obtain normal spectral emissivity measurements on pulse-heated materials. The method is based on the Fresnel equations, which describe reflection and refraction at an ideally smooth interface between two isotropic media. However, polarimetry is frequently used with surfaces that clearly deviate from this ideal condition. Questions arise with respect to the applicability of the simple Fresnel equations to non-specular surfaces. On the other hand, reflectometry utilizing integrating spheres provides a measurement of the hemispherical spectral reflectance, from which the normal spectral emissivity can be derived. ISR provides data on spectral-normal-hemispherical reflectance and, hence, normal spectral emissivity for a variety of surfaces. However, the resulting errors are minimal when both the sample and the reference have a similar bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). In an effort to explore the limits of polarimetry in terms of surface roughness, room temperature measurements on the same samples with various degrees of roughness were performed using both ISR and a laser polarimeter. In this paper the two methods are briefly described and the results of the comparison are discussed.     

A low-temperature solvothermal method to prepare hollow spherical WS2 nanoparticles modified by TOA

Tungsten disulfide hollow spherical nanoparticles with diameters of about 100 nm modified by trioctylamine (TOA) have been successfully prepared by a solvothermal process in pyridine. For comparison, WS₂ sample was also prepared without TOA modification and sheet-like pieces and their irregular aggregates were obtained. The products were characterized by X-ray power diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high revolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), respectively.

Cobalt-iron cyanide hollow cubes: Three-dimensional self-assembly and magnetic properties

Cobalt-iron cyanide hollow cubes have been synthesized via a poly(vinylpyrrolidone) assisted solvothermal route. A unique formation process: self-assembly followed by Ostwald ripening process, has been put forward to take account for the construction of hollow cubes. The rod-like nanocrystals first assemble as porous cubes via an oriented attachment process. Then, the porous cubes undergo an Ostwald-ripening process, which create interior spaces and result in the formation of hollow cubes. The magnetic property investigation reveals that K_0.22Co_0.58Fe_2.2(CN)₆ hollow cubes exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior.
